Log Insight is an analytics and log management platform that has the ability to analyze large amounts of machine-generated data in real time. It is used for operational analytics in traditional data center and cloud environments. It has the ability to discover emerging patterns and guide administrators to the root cause of problems.

The acquisition, alongside with those of DynamicOps and Nicira defined in July, outlines VMware’s plan to gain the leadership in the Enterprise Cloud Management scenario.
